Highly recommend!

Do yourself a favor and hire Doug.
I think one of my best decisions regarding our wedding was choosing Doug to capture the day. He was such a dream to work with - accommodating not one, but TWO wedding reschedules thanks to the global pandemic. He also drove an hour outside of the cities to visit the site with my husband and I, excitedly pointing out the best spots for spectacular pictures.
The wedding day came and he was the perfect mix of helpful suggestions and just letting the day unfold and capturing all the magical moments that happen between mothers and daughters, sisters, friends and family, and between a new husband and wife.
His "Ok last one. Wait. Ok this one is the last one!" had the whole wedding party laughing. During the ceremony and reception, he whizzed around almost invisibly. He worked closely with our coordinator and videographer to make sure the schedule moved along swiftly, and all the background logistics were handled so my husband and I could spend the day just enjoying each other and those that we hadn't seen in far too long.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll wrap this up with a few incredible shots that Doug captured.
Doug was easy to work with, fun to photograph with, and created some incredible photos. each one captured our personality and day perfectly. we loved the more candid approach and lifestyle-esque way of capturing our courthouse elopement and dinner with friends!
Hire Doug Burke! Not only did our photos turn out beautifully, but the whole time we worked with Doug he was an all star.
He is very kind, professional, responds quickly, was so easy to talk to and via email/phone/and in person, and has a personality that puts you at ease.
We chose him because he did a great job on my best friend's wedding. I am SO so happy with how our pictures turned out! I love both the color and black and white - the black and white look so classic and elegant, I am so glad we have both!
Our plans changed significantly from our time of booking to our wedding date, to make our celebration safe during Covid. Doug was so accommodating and understanding with each change we made (the final plans were solidified only weeks in advance), and we appreciate him so much. We would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to others! Thank you Doug!
Doug was the photographer for the 3 events of our wedding celebration recently. I knew I loved his documentarian style as soon as I saw his work but I didn’t know I would fall in love with it even more when we got our pictures. He is a super human who captures every single thing that makes you relive your special day. He is also focused on the guests and things happening around. I don’t know many people who can capture so many moments and that too so beautifully. He is a wizard and has such an eye for things! He masters in colors as much as the black and white art of photos. Our Indian wedding was all colors and I don’t think my words can do justice to the pictures. You can never go wrong with him and he is so easy to get along. All my family and friends loved him. He would never tell you what to do and that’s the beauty- he will quietly capture the stunning moments throughout the day! Thank you so much Doug for making our day exponentially beautiful.
We’re so lucky we got to work with Doug for our wedding. Photography was nearly the most important thing to me since that is what would tell the story of our day.
Doug was cool, calm, and collected and so discreet about shooting moments I didn’t even realize he was able to capture (perks of the documentary style). He took us to neat locations he had previously scouted and was helpful making us feel at ease in front of the camera. We didn’t hire a videographer and didn’t know whether that would be a regret. Once we saw the photos, we felt like we were watching a documentary of every moment of the day, no need for a videographer. It was incredible to relive the whole day through his photos.
Throughout the whole process he has responsive and accommodating, providing updates along the way. We would recommend Bradley to anyone looking for spectacular, timeless photos.
Doug is a master photographer, his candids are simply perfection, and he's also a super sleuth! I couldn't believe all of the amazing moments he captured, and he's so easy to work with. I teared up looking through the photos the first time, and I had amazing ones of my guests to send! I love his black & white work, but for some reason color seemed to reign supreme at our wedding, and his work was just as gorgeous.
Doug was the absolute GREATEST. He completely understood our vision for our engagement and wedding pictures and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. He is a pure joy to work with and made every step so much fun. He captured our day perfectly and we are so thankful that he was part of it. thank you, Doug a million times over!!!
Doug was a calming presence at every point of our wedding day. He arrived on time and immediately melted into the background capturing moments around us. We did a first look and took couples photos before the ceremony, and we really felt like he absorbed all of the external pressure to stay on time so that he could get a few more perfect shots. He was working just for the two of us, and we felt taken care of. The photographs are gorgeous and we will cherish the memories he captured throughout the day. If you are in search of a wedding photographer who will not only capture your day beautifully but make you feel like you're working with a friend, look no further than Doug Burke Photography!
We had an amazing experience with Doug as our wedding photographer. Doug is a rare talent, and we were lucky to work with him!
After meticulously researching wedding photographers, we landed on Doug given his documentary style, natural editing, and his professional training and experience. Unlike many photographers we considered, Doug is a true student of photography and a master of his craft. He was a pleasure to work with, making sure to understand our vision, needs, and plan for our wedding day. We adore our photos, received them (over 800 of them) within one month. Our guests continue to comment on how impressed they were by Doug and that our photos are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. We don’t disagree. 😉
We had the best experience with Doug and his team. From the first meeting to delivery of photos, the professionalism was top notch. Highly recommended!
We had a great experience with Doug! He was very communicative leading up to the wedding and we were so thrilled with the way the photos turned out. Lots of great "in the moment" photos. A great value!
I have hired Doug for every important life event since I have met him. He did a brilliant job with my engagement photos, wedding photos, and trash the dress. I was blown away by the beautiful maternity photos he did for me this fall. He is always professional and personable. For my wedding he showed up the minute I started getting ready and left after we were gone. I am still getting compliments about his work over 7 years afterward. Doug is not only the best photographer in NC but one of the best I have ever seen. He is so incredibly talented and has such an eye for angles, lighting and positions. Thank you Doug for capturing such amazing memories for me and my family!
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding photographer. Doug is amazing! Not only did he capture our day perfectly, he was so much fun to have around. We were not interested in a lot (okay any) posed photos but just wanted someone to capture all of our favorite people interacting with us and each other and we were blown away by how wonderfully Doug accomplished this. We cannot thank him enough!
We cannot sing Doug’s praises enough! We feel extremely fortunate to have had him photograph our wedding. Not only were our photos absolutely stunning, the photos captured our wedding day better than we could have even thought possible. Our wedding plans were changed many times due to the pandemic, and ultimately our wedding was a very small wedding with only immediate family taking place in North Carolina. What I say over and over is that I wish I knew others who would be getting married in North Carolina so that I could recommend they all use Doug as their wedding photographer!
From the beginning of our wedding planning process once we decided on a location, we knew that Doug’s style of photography was what we wanted. I have been in many wedding parties before, but my husband had never had professional photographs of any sort done before. Doug was such an enjoyable presence to have with us on our wedding day, and my husband enjoyed working with him and his approach to capturing the day was very relaxed, and it made it so enjoyable for all of us.
Doug made the planning process so easy, especially considering we weren’t going to be able to meet him in person until our actual wedding day. He was always available for a quick call whenever we had any questions, and his insight was invaluable. He arrived early the day of the wedding when we were just hanging out/starting to get ready and spent a lot of quality time with us even when we were just doing things like playing cards.
He also paid attention to the smallest details that were really meaningful to us. My aunt was unable to travel because of a recent onset medical condition, and Doug captured a photo of us facetiming with her – so she still got to be in our wedding photos even though she couldn’t be there in person.
We felt that our wedding day couldn’t have been captured more perfectly, and are in awe of the photos every single time we look at them! If we were to do it all over again there is no doubt in my mind we would have Doug photograph our wedding (and ideally any other major events in our lives moving forward)!
We are beyond grateful for Doug’s talents as a photographer as well as his truly lovely personality that made working with him an absolute pleasure! We cannot recommend him highly enough as a wedding photographer!

We got married in Yellowstone National Park, it was raining on our big day but it didn't stop Doug. He guided us through our shoot and made it so easy, especially for my husband who isn't into taking pictures. It was a lot of fun working with Doug. All our pictures turned out amazing! Worth it. Fully recommend.
We are so happy we decided to go with Doug Burke Photography for our wedding. What we loved most about Doug is his patience and willingness to do whatever it took to get the best photos for our special day. We found his style to be the perfect mix of posed photos and candid photos. When it came to the posed photos, his attention to detail was impeccable. He looked at every detail as he was taking the photo - from the bride's hair & position of her engagement ring to how the groom was standing.
Since we did not have a wedding planner, Doug worked with us directly on our day of schedule and he was spot on with all of the recommended times he suggested for our schedule. On the day of our wedding, there were multiple wedding parties trying to shoot at the same location. Doug was extremely flexible and creative to navigate taking photos on a busy summer wedding day!
We LOVED all of our photos and have received so many compliments on how beautiful they turned out. Thank you, Doug Burke Photography, for capturing our special day!!
I LOVED working with Doug and his team. They are an incredibly talented group of individuals. The pictures are STUNNING. Our whole wedding weekend was captured so beautifully, I feel so grateful that they were there to capture the love from the weekend. Additionally, he was so easy to work with. Doug is extremely organized and efficient but is also so kind and thoughtful. I absolutely loved working with Doug and his team and am thrilled with how they photographed our wedding. The photos will be a treasured keepsake of ours for the rest of our lives.
Doug photographed our wedding, and my husband and I agree that it was one of the best decisions we ever made. He was so responsive and friendly leading up to the wedding that we already trusted and felt comfortable with him before we met him. I am camera shy and was feeling very nervous about being photographed all day, but Doug and his team made the portraits feel so easy and fun. He was a relaxing presence and very easy to communicate with. His picture taking never felt invasive or distracting from the event, he just improved the environment and helped everyone feel at ease. He was helpful, professional, and funny throughout the process.
And then we got the pictures back, and we were floored! His work is so beautiful and he really captured the magic of that day so perfectly. He arranged our families effortlessly and made them laugh. He charmed the children and caught their sweet little hugs and bickering on film. He captured our friends and family teary-eyed during the ceremony, blissed out on the dance floor, and belting out songs afterward.
Not only were the formal portraits and action shots amazing, but his attentive eye found so many small details and moments from the wedding that we didn’t get to see until afterward but will really treasure. He has a journalistic style that feels very authentic and unforced – he really took in what was there and created a set of images distilled the essence of that day. My advice to anyone getting married is that your wedding will stream by faster than you can imagine, and there is no better investment than a talented photographer who can freeze some of those moments for you. Doug is your man! We would recommend his to anyone and everyone.
Doug was so lovely to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. He was always cool as a cucumber and his calm, confident nature is infectious to everyone around him turning the chaos of wedding day into a breeze! He never made us feel rushed but kept everyone on schedule. He came early and stayed late to scope out the best spots and get the best shots - this is the photographer who will climb rock walls and go down sketchy alleyways to give you the best photos you can imagine!
For our wedding day, his second shooter Anna accompanied him and matched his fun, confident, easy-going demeanor effortlessly. She was so kind and is an expert at making sure you (and your very float dress on a very windy day) look flawless!
Doug and Anna were able to capture precious moments throughout our day that we will treasure forever. I cannot recommend them enough! You will be worrying about one million things on your wedding day, but the photography and schedule will not be one of them with these two around! I have already recommended them to five other couples and we will definitely be back for Doug to capture the next big adventures in our lives!
We hired Doug for our wedding last year and he was truly amazing to work with! We found him through the knot and Instagram and after a few chats, we knew that he's the one to shoot our wedding. The communication was like a breeze. He understood our needs as a couple and showed us a few options to choose. The day of the wedding was incredible! He captured all the magical moments and I love the way he conceptualized the entire photo. We were all in the moments and he managed to document everything through his eyes and lenses. Post-editing process was really smooth as well. Usually I've heard photographer taking months to finish editing the pictures but it takes Doug roughly a month to finish editing everything. All the pictures in the gallery looked absolutely beautiful and we loved it!! Highly recommend Doug if you're looking for a photographer that understands aesthetics, is professional and easy to work with!
Doug was amazing to work with and I can honestly say that every single picture he gave us is beautiful! As an individual he was very relaxed yet focused and professional throughout coordination and the day of the wedding. The quality and style of photography was exceptional and felt unique to our location/wedding day. His collection of photography tells a timeless story without forcing any trendy shots. I liked that the editing wasn't over the top and working with him flowed naturally. Doug never felt in the way but more like a guest at our wedding, and still was able to capture every moment! We look forward to working with with Doug again and have already recommended him to our friends---You wont be disappointed!
Doug is a world class photographer, a fun wedding guest, and a friend for life
Doug was awesome to work with. All of our wedding photos turned out GORGEOUS and we could not be happier with them! We received so many compliments on how beautiful all our photos were. Doug even came early on the day of the wedding to make sure he had enough time to get all of our detail and get ready photos, and still stayed until the end of the night to get our send off/getaway car photos. I also had a number of poses/shots I asked him to capture during our formal photo time and throughout the day, and he did a great job capturing them. He also got so many awesome action shots of our first dance and guests dancing throughout the night. He is so talented and the lighting of all the photos was flawless! We can't thank him enough for perfectly capturing these memories for us to look back on for years to come! I highly recommend Doug Burke Photography as your wedding photographer!
There are not enough stars to rate Doug. We got our pictures back and there is not a single one that we didn't fall in love with. As a girl you dream about your wedding day and Doug captured all the moments with perfection. We had so much trust in him we didn't need to worry one second about him not capturing a moment. Up to our wedding day Doug was so helpful and responsive. We knew the minute we booked him he would be the best person for our day. Not only has he made our wedding a fantasy we have found our photographer to capture every moment in our lives going forward. Don't look any farther. Book Doug and you won't ever be disappointed.
I’m glad my someone referred Doug Burke to us!
He did an amazing job on our engagement photos. My husband and I both don’t like to take pictures, but we had so much fun with Doug; he made us comfortable and took awesome photos! Doug also did our wedding! Honestly, I didn’t realize he took so many photos/or was nearby to capture some moments, because he was not in our faces all night (he really blended in… which is nice, because we have been to (5) weddings this year and it was like you kept noticing the photographer or he was in the way… this is not Doug at all). Would definitely hire him again!!
Absolutely the best! We could not have asked for more from Doug and his team. Truly a pleasure to work with and we love our pictures!
From the moment we met with Doug, we knew he was the one. He immediately made us feel at ease with his calm demeanor. Through or engagement, bridal and wedding photos, everything was PERFECT! We could not have asked for more from Doug and his team. Thank you for all for making all of our wedding party and guests comfortable and helping craft a wonderful experience.
Doug is very talented and pleasant to work with. You can tell how much he enjoys weddings and his enthusiasm is contagious. If you are looking for a great photographer that is also fun, he’s you’re guy. Highly recommend!!
Doug is fantastic and we hope to work with him again! Doug's images are rich and full of life and we are so thrilled we got the opportunity to work with him. You get so much value and he is fast! He sent us an initial preview of dozens of images within a day of our wedding. A day!
Doug made all of our family and friends so comfortable and had us laughing. He was particularly great with our niece and nephew (1.5 and 3.5) and managed to get fantastic pictures of them also.
Doug is by far the most spectacular vendor we worked with for our September 2021 wedding! I found Doug's portfolio online and his photos were stunning- deep colors, contrast, lively and full of expression- and not overly exposed and washed out like is the trend with most engagement and wedding photos I see. We hired Doug to do our engagement photos, and from the moment we arrived, he was so friendly and made us feel immediately comfortable. He expertly provided direction as he took our photos but also captured gorgeous candid shots throughout. When he shared the photo gallery with us, we were blown away! It was a no brainer to hire Doug to do our wedding photos as well. On our wedding day, Doug and his co-photographer were prompt and brought such a positive and fun energy. The photos he captured are INCREDIBLE! So much raw emotion and an eye for capturing gorgeous light and scenery. We wholeheartedly recommend Doug! He is SO talented!
We recently had Doug as our photographer on our wedding day. Not only was the process so easy, he brought a sense of calm to our special day. I cannot recommend Doug Burke Photography enough.
The second Doug arrived at our wedding, I felt a sense of calm. Even through an unexpected thunderstorm, he made the experience, fun, magical, and very adventurous. He still captured some amazing natural shots and was so adaptive and kind. Would definitely recommend him, especially for any adventure/elopement type weddings, especially in rural spots - he's great and always has backup plans since he arrives super early to scout the area!! :)
Doug has been so amazing to work with! He did my husband and I’s engagements, Bridals, and Wedding Photos and all of his photos have turned out beautiful! He is easy to get ahold of, very responsive, and will do whatever he can to get the results you want. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone looking for a photographer, especially a wedding photographer!
Doug was amazing! I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. He was really efficient and did an amazing job getting our huge families to cooperate in pictures. We were so impressed by our final products that we couldn’t wait to share them with everyone. My favorite thing was that our pictures didn’t feel like robotic stock wedding photos, they really showed personality. I’m so grateful to have found him for our special day!
Doug was so amazing to work with! He was open to anything and everything, kept up with all my guests to get amazing photos, and captured every little detail. I couldn't recommend anyone better to shoot a wedding, he went above and beyond all he was great with constant communication and helping with any questions I had. He also got my gallery to me in such a short time, I was amazed!
Thank you so much for spending our special day with us Doug!
Doug really made us excited to see the finished product with his enthusiasm about the photos and he did not disappoint. Our photographs from our engagements and wedding turned out amazing, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants quality service.
All I can say is, "WOW!"
We are over the moon with our experience with Doug. Neither one of us were comfortable in front of the camera. From our first meeting during our engagement shoot, we felt at ease immediately. We had to switch our venue last minute and notified Doug of the switch. He was accommodating and on time. Both of our engagement photos and our wedding photos came back amazing and extremely quick- within a week! I cannot stress enough how easy and perfect our experience has been.
Thank you for everything!!!
Carly and Ian
Doug was fantastic from start to finish. He was extremely responsive in email and text leading up to the wedding, on the day of he showed up early and was super professional, and best of all, his photos were amazing. We are super excited with the photos and service we received from Doug and would absolutely recommend him to anyone else looking for a great wedding photographer.
Our experience with Doug was absolutely wonderful. He was patient and professional. He gave us a lot of valuable suggestion during the preparation and photo shooting. We love the results and will recommend him to our friends.
There are no words to describe how thankful my husband and I are for Doug and his team. From our first meeting with him we knew there is no one else we wanted to capture our day. His communication skills are beyond those of any of our other vendors. His skill and creativity brought the photos of our day to a whole level we never expected. Our family and friends were in awe of the moments that he was able to capture amongst the chaos that was our lively and rambunctious family. I was lucky enough to have Doug capture my bridal shower, engagement photos and wedding. His attention to capturing all the details that as a couple you do not get to see on the day of gave me the ability to see all of the work my husband and I put into our wedding come together. From the photos of my shoes to the photos of the end of the night every memory we could imagine was captured.
For anyone who is looking for a true artist with an amazing eye for capturing your big day Doug is the person you want photographing your day.
My husband does not like having his photos taken and is uncomfortable in front of a camera. Somehow Doug was able to bring his personality out and he was able to have fun in front of the camera in a way I didn't expect. The photos during the engagement shoot were so fun and allowed him to become more comfortable in front of the camera. Doug did a fantastic job bringing out the best in us and capturing us the way we are as a couple.
Every single person who has seen the photos from any of our events has asked who our photographer was and where we found him.
We cannot as a couple refer him strongly enough to everyone.
Doug Burke Photography did such a beautiful job on our wedding. We hired them to be our photographer. From day one working with them, they were very patient with our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% happy with the final result. The photos, and album came out amazing! The album told a story and our families were in awe of the work they put into every aspect for our wedding. We are very happy we hired them!
I have never laughed so much in my life. He makes taking photos a really good time. We did our engagement shoot with him which really helped us get to know each other. By the time it was the wedding day, we were completely comfortable with him and so excited to be working with him again! Not only is he really easy going but he is super fun to hang out with. He fit right in on the wedding day which I think is important. It was a great experience, and he is beyond talented. Also, his photos and style are unreal. His work stands out and we LOVE our photos!
Doug and his team were amazing on our wedding day. My husband and I are a touch camera shy, but he made the whole experience a breeze. He's super friendly and easy to get along with. From a technical point of view, his work stood out from the rest because of how bright and alive his photos were. Skin tones were perfect, lighting was perfect, framing and composition were unique.... he really has the eye for this field of work. We couldn't recommend Doug Burke Photography enough! High fives!
Doug shot our engagement photos in addition to our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with his overall ease, style and point of view through the lens. Neither my husband or I feel comfortable in front of the camera, so Doug just told us to be ourselves and he took it from there. The photographic results were unique and timeless. Some of the photos even resemble art and that's because of him, not us. We opted not to have a videographer at our wedding, because of Doug, we didn't need one. He captured the fun and love of the day in photos we can revisit over a lifetime. Hire Doug. He's the best in his field - a true innovator.
Doug and his team is amazing! I searched for hours trying to find the best photographer to capture our wedding and I knew it had to be Doug after looking through his website. He did our engagement shoot and I was blown away with how good the pictures looked, and this is coming from someone that was so nervous about being photographed. After seeing our engagement shoot pictures, I couldn’t wait to see our album after our wedding. He has a great eye for details and is able to capture all the special moments as they happen which I loved. On the day of our wedding, he was early and made sure every shot I wanted was taken care of before leaving at the end of the night; he also sent over our album so quickly which was awesome. I get compliments all the time on our wedding and engagement pictures that are displayed around my office, and a few of my girlfriends that aren’t even wedding planning yet have already decided they want Doug when that time comes. I hope to be able to use Doug Burke Photography for any of our future photoshoots and highly recommend him to anyone looking.
All things being equal, my wife and I are not the most photogenic people. So, the idea of having our most important day being captured in a series of photos over 8 hours was overwhelming, to say the least. Through a recommendation of a co-worker, we were introduced to Doug. From the start, Doug's approach and his overall personality was one that aligned with us. You will come across several vendors during the wedding planning process that have overpowering personalities. The engagement photo session (which I encourage everyone to get one, if only as an opportunity to get to know your photographer before the big day) allowed us an opportunity to see Doug as someone who completely goes with the flow with our collective vision (even if it means trekking through snow to find that perfect backdrop). There is so much attention to detail you put into your wedding day and those memories are all now fleeting. But investing in someone like Doug for your wedding day, capturing the pictures of not just you, but more importantly to us - our family and close friends - was the wisest investment that we could have made. Thank you again!
Where to begin! The first day my husband and I contacted Doug Burke Photography, we knew right away, we would book with them. Their approach and kind demeanor towards us was outstanding and their response time regarding emails was prompt. At the time of booking, there was much uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and how it would affect our planning; however, the team at Doug Burke Photography calmly carried us through the difficult process of postponing and keeping us on track with planning. They helped us formulate the best inspiration shots and made sure to equip us with an amazing team to keep the show going day of the wedding. Our photographers, Doug & Anna, and our videographers Christian and Julian made our day brilliant! They were on top of the wedding day timeline and kept all our bridal party together when the photoshoot called for them. They reminded us of our timing and kept the day flowing well. They spoke to us and our guests with genuine excitement and followed us throughout the night to capture all we envisioned. Thank you so much! Our wedding guests can't stop raving about how amazing you all are!
I made several enquiries to NC wedding photographers, and Doug Burke Photography was by far the most helpful and his approach made me instantly relax. We were coming from the UK and had never been to North Carolina before, so we needed to feel confident with our choice. We met our officiant, at the City Clerk's office the Friday before and she so obviously loves what she does! On the day, from the moment we were picked up by the limo driver we felt so special. Doug and his team took such wonderful photos capturing the atmosphere of the day so well. We highly recommend Doug Burke Photography!!
Doug has an eye for images and takes beautiful pictures. We used him for our engagement and wedding photos and they were amazing. The backgrounds he chose, the fall colors, the way he made nature a canvas around us as well as the many candids he shot, I couldn’t be happier with his work. We have gorgeous pictures that captured our best moments from the funny to truly stunning. He was prompt to respond to messages and very easy to work with.
Doug was absolutely amazing. With so many photographers to goose from I am so glad I went with him. Throughout the entire process from consultation to finished photos he was attentive and extremely professional. We asked him to do a few things that were not planned and he performed fantastically. I can say without a doubt I would recommend him to everyone, anytime, every time.
I would recommend Doug to anyone. When I first came across his work online I was immediately impressed. When I contacted him he immediately responded and even took the time to sit down with my husband and I to answer all of our questions before booking. While at the wedding he was so nice and respectful, I even had multiple friends and family complement how kind he was. We had only booked him for four hrs and due to the wedding running a little behind he still made sure to stay and get all of the important pictures of the cake cutting and garter/ bouquet toss. I was also very impressed with his turn around time. I had asked if we could have a couple sneak peaks since it would take a little while to get all the pictures back. He had me three in less than 24 hrs. Also it typically takes about a month to get pictures back and he had my gallery up in less than two weeks. The best thing about this is he actually sent me the link on my birthday which was amazing.
I highly recommend Doug if you are looking for a wedding photographer, he's work is amazing! A big thank you for capturing all of the important parts of my special day!

- AliciaAssociate Photographer"Here’s a little about me and my approach to wedding photography. My love for photography began years ago, but it truly deepened when my son started competing in rodeo, and I wanted to capture those unforgettable moments. In 2022, I was asked to photograph my first wedding, and I instantly fell in love with the entire experience. Since then, I’ve been pursuing wedding photography with passion. For me, weddings are all about the emotion and love that fill the day. There’s something magical about capturing those moments when the groom’s face lights up the second he spots his bride, even in a crowded room, or when parents watch their son or daughter during the first dance, reliving memories of their child growing up. It’s those in-between moments, filled with raw emotion and beauty, that inspire me. Wedding photography allows me to be fully present in those moments and create lasting memories for couples and their families, and that’s what I love most about what I do."
